We've been told that these will not be cheap and even pass the $4000 equivalent mark on the high end in some countries. Who's going to throw down for these?

If 9to5's ever-anonymous sources are correct, a $4000 laptop is an astoundingly expensive laptop that very few people will buy, which means the Pro in MacBook Pro just took on some real meaning, or this isn't true. Or maybe it'll just be a few countries that get screwed with engorged pricing, while the rest of the free world is safe. [9to5Mac]
